Politico \u200con Monday summarized \u200dthe supposed conflict, writing that\u200d \u201cthe White House is insisting that its multifaceted funding \u2062request move in one piece due to \u2063fears that separating\u2062 out Israel funding \u2014 with its overwhelming bipartisan support \u2014 would mean letting the more controversial Ukraine aid \u200clanguish.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In total,\u2064 Biden is asking \u200cCongress for more than \u200c$100 billion in \u200bspending, the vast majority of which would go to his precious Ukraine, a few billion to Israel, and then something \u2062like\u2063 ten bucks for\u2064 \u201cborder security.\u201d The problem for him, however, is that handing fistfuls of cash to President\u2064 Zelenskyy(yyy) isn\u2019t too popular with voters anymore \u2014 especially Republican voters. Knowing this, House Speaker Mike Johnson has offered to get money \u2064for Israel\u2063 on its \u200bown and with\u200d nothing attached. That\u2019s called\u2062 \u201cexpressing the will of the people.\u201d There was even the added bonus of making\u2064 the funds available only if it came from\u2062 spending that\u2064 was already scheduled for elsewhere \u2014 in this case, on the IRS.<\/p>\n<p>As for \u2062the Democrat-controlled Senate,\u200c Leader Charles Schumer \u200bis naturally backing\u200d Biden\u200c by preemptively \u200drejecting Johnson\u2019s offer and telling senators they \u200c\u201cshould be\u2063 prepared to stay in Washington\u201d until they pass \u201ca funding bill to ensure we as well as \u2064our friends and partners in Ukraine,\u2063 Israel, and the Indo-Pacific region have the necessary military capabilities to\u2062 confront and deter our adversaries and competitors.\u201d In other\u200d words,\u2064 it\u2019s going to be all \u200dor nothing.<\/p>\n<p>Well, don\u2019t threaten me with a good time!<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m curious as to \u2064what \u200bleverage Biden\u200d and Schumer believe\u2063 they have on \u200dthe matter. \u2064A plurality of Americans say the U.S. is offering \u201ctoo much\u201d support for Ukraine. That\u2019s been the case \u2064since at least June. The Democratic Party is bluntly divided on aiding Israel, with some elected officials openly supporting the nation\u2019s enemy.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, in \u2064America, where\u2063 we\u2019re treated by \u2063Washington \u2062with Spirit Airlines-level service, prices on basic goods continue to climb, the Southern border has collapsed, and to step outside the house is to risk getting mugged \u200cand murdered.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s Bidenomics, folks! \u2064Bottom up, middle out, \u200dfolks! It just works, folks!<\/p>\n<p>Precisely where is anyone supposed to find the urgency to send another round of \u200cmoney to yet another\u200d country when everything\u200c here sucks? And precisely what is the threat\u2062 for those who won\u2019t? \u2064That \u2062the Senate will\u200c have to work through Christmas?<\/p>\n<p>Be my guest!<\/p>\n<p>Admittedly,\u200c expectations for\u2064 Republicans should never\u200d be higher than Stephen Hawking could jump. Maybe \u200cJohnson will cave, and the \u2063American taxpayer will be forced\u200c to \u2062send more of their dollars elsewhere, all while watching their family get poorer and their city \u200bless safe.\u200c Those things apparently\u2064 don\u2019t matter so long\u200d as Ukraine and Israel aren\u2019t taken care of first.<\/p>\n<p>If forcing senators\u200d to stay in \u2064Washington \u2064for Christmas,\u2064 away \u2062from their families, is what it takes, that\u2019s\u2064 a \u200bprice everyone should \u2063be willing to\u200c pay, especially Speaker Johnson. Let Biden and Democrats explain why the welfare of other countries is more \u2064important than \u2064ours.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> How can we hold our \u200bpoliticians accountable to ensure\u200b that they are \u2063making the tough choices \u200cnecessary to address the issues facing our country\u2062 and prioritize \u2063America&#8217;s needs<\/h2>\n<p><span>  \u2063Vote \u200don the entire funding package as requested by the White House.\u201d It\u2019s clear that the Democrats \u2064are determined\u2064 to push\u200c through Biden\u2019s agenda, \u200cregardless\u2064 of the cost and regardless of\u2062 what the American \u200dpeople actually want.<\/p>\n<p>But here\u2019s the thing:\u2062 Enough is enough. It\u2019s time for our leaders to prioritize America\u2019s needs above those of other countries.\u2064 We\u2063 have our own \u200bproblems\u200b to solve, our \u2063own infrastructure to rebuild, our own citizens to support.<\/p>\n<p>While our politicians argue \u200cover how much money \u200dto send to Ukraine \u2064and \u2063Israel, our \u2064own country is struggling. Our \u200dinfrastructure is crumbling, our schools are underfunded, our healthcare system is in shambles. We\u200d have veterans who \u2064can&#8217;t get the care they need, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/eric-adams-needs-to-move-faster-to-save-nycs-subways\/\" title=\"Eric Adams Needs to Move Faster to Save NYC\u2019s Subways\">homeless people sleeping<\/a> on our streets, and families struggling to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/under-trump-americans-have-seen-their-best-wage-growth-in-40-years\/\" title=\"Under Trump, Americans Have Seen Their Best Wage Growth In 40 Years\">make ends meet<\/a>. The\u200c list of issues facing America goes on and on.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a slap in the face to the American people to see our tax\u200b dollars being sent overseas \u200cwhile our own country \u2063is in desperate need of \u200bfunding. \u2064We need to invest in our own \u2063infrastructure, create \u200djobs for our citizens, and provide \u200dassistance\u2064 to those who\u200b need it most.<\/p>\n<p>But \u200dinstead, our leaders are more concerned with appeasing other countries and maintaining their global image. They seem\u200b more \u200binterested in winning political points and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/emails-show-ron-wydens-office-lied-about-irs-whistleblower-backing-out-of-senate-meeting\/\" title=\"Ron Wyden's office lied about IRS whistleblower canceling Senate meeting, emails reveal.\">playing partisan games<\/a> than actually serving\u2063 the American people.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s time\u2063 to put America first. It\u2019s time to\u200d prioritize the needs of our own citizens. We \u2062can&#8217;t \u200ccontinue to ignore\u2063 the \u200cproblems right in front of us while sending billions of dollars overseas.<\/p>\n<p>We need leaders who will stand up for the American \u2063people and fight for our interests. We need leaders who will make the \u200ctough choices to \u2062address the issues facing our \u200ccountry. We need leaders who will prioritize\u2063 America&#8217;s needs over everything else.<\/p>\n<p>So enough is enough. It&#8217;s time to demand change. It&#8217;s time to hold\u2064 our leaders accountable. It&#8217;s time to prioritize America&#8217;s needs and put our tax dollars to work for the American\u200b people.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s invest in \u2063our infrastructure, support our schools, improve our healthcare system, and provide assistance to those\u2063 in need.\u200d Let&#8217;s rebuild our country from within and\u2062 create a \u2064stronger,\u2063 more prosperous America for future\u2064 generations.<\/p>\n<p>Our leaders have a \u200bchoice: They can continue to \u2063prioritize the needs of other \u2063countries, or they\u2063 can put America first. The\u200d choice\u200c is \u200bclear, and the American people deserve better.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s\u2063 time for\u200c action. It&#8217;s time for\u200c change.
